6 months - Doctor's Visit

This pregnancy is just flying by!

This week we had our 6 month doctor's visit. The baby's heart rate was at 132 beats per minute. This is a little slower than in the past, but I am almost positive my little Peanut was taking a nap which would explain a slower heart rate. Usually I get kicked every few minutes and during the doctor's visit the baby was on his/her best behavior, no kicking or punching.

The midwife did a quick ultrasound of the baby to confirm its position in my uterus. During the scan I caught a quick glance of the "private" area and thought I saw male parts. Steven thinks I am nuts and that there is no way to tell if it was in fact male parts or the umbilical cord or if I was even looking at the right spot. She did do the scan really quickly. Anyway, I am not going to assume it is a boy or a girl at this point, but I can't wait to find out if what I thought I saw is really there. I guess we'll just have to wait a few more months to find out!
